Residents in and around Fossil Road are campaigning to save their historic lamposts which are to be replaced, under the controversial and oft-criticised Skanska contract, by bland modern lampposts. There are few similar examples in our increasingly bland and characterless Lewisham streetscape and one has to feel very sypathetic to the petitioners' goal. Surely refurbishment to acceptable modern standards, albeit with some costs attached, must be an option?
Following the great success of last year's market, this year's Christmas Market in Ladywell will be taking place on Saturday 6th December.
Applications for stalls are available from Slater & King on Ladywell Road or by emailing hello@slaterandking.co.uk - £45 if you have your own insurance or £55 if not. There are only a limited number of stalls, so be quick!
The Council is currently consulting on a new CPZ at the top of the hill which could, if approved/implemented, include Vicars Hill and roads either side of Shell Road. For full details see map on the Council website.
